Estimates of the prevalence of selected chronic conditions are presented by biological system involved, sex, age, race, family income, geographic region, and place of residence. The percent of conditions causing limitation of activity, the percent of conditions for which a physician was consulted, and the number of restricted-activity days and bed-disability days resulting from the conditions a...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a complex biological system which can be affected by several operational problems. Among them, biological foaming is one of the most difficult to deal with. It has many effects, such as causing gas pipe clogging and probe failures, and it can affect mixing devices, etc. Since the mechanisms involved in biological foaming development are not fully understood, it is no...

Soil and water resources management of rivers has an important role because of direct relation withdifferent systems such as earth, life, social and people. Although the use of vegetation cover inbioengineering and biological stabilization and also soil and water resources management projects hasmany advantages, but improper methods of design and implementation cause hydraulic specificationsof ...
